According to CoinMeta, billionaire investor Ray Dalio stated that the debt repurchase announcement by Finance Minister Scott Bessent fits into a broader pattern of an impending crisis. He pointed out that the plan to increase government debt purchases by Bessent may foreshadow troubles for the U.S. economy. Dalio advised investors to prepare for the increased risks by holding cryptocurrencies and gold. He warned that if not addressed in time, debt will accumulate to an unmanageable level. Dalio also mentioned that the U.S. budget deficit exceeded $432 billion in July, and Bessent indicated that it is expected to have reached its peak under the Trump administration.
